- A huge thank you to Kuroji ( / k_kuroji ) for doing the video. He's done an absolutely amazing job and I couldn't be more grateful. I'm blown away by the attention to detail, ranging from the sword dancing to the ainu motifs. It's absolutely brilliant.
This is my second attempt at a cover using the long-awaited VOCALOID4 update to Iroha. I remember mailing AHSoft back in 2011 or 2012 about the possibility of seeing a VOCALOID3 update to her, so imagine my excitement when they announced her V4 update last year! I'm still working on a video for my first attempt at working Iroha V4.
Rera is an ainu word and translates as Wind. "An kamu iru peka rera ikesampa" more or less translates as "I chase the wind through the path where the Gods passed through."
When working on this track I took inspiration from Iroha's voice provider, Kyounosuke. When he sings he uses a lot of heavy and powerful vibratos coupled with sudden shifts in pitch which makes for a very dynamic melody. I also drew some inspiration from Kaoling who often uses heavy GEN parameter edits and sudden pitch shifts, and I think the combination of the two really worked. Iroha's voice handles heavy vibratos and GEN edits really well, much more so than many other libraries out there.
I also incorporated the GWL and XSY parameters as best I could. Ever since the announcement I really looked forward to using Iroha with the GWL parameter. It works well on the lower notes, but it sounds weird on her high falsetto register.
The original song was written and composed by だいすけP (DaisukeP). He did an absolutely marvellous job with Iroha as well, and I highly recommend that you check it out.
Thank you for reading this massive description, I hope you'll enjoy the song!
I love it when she suddenly belts it out in this one. I already have a song of Nekomura singing this, but this is so good, i'll take this one too.
+Hero✩Lydragius Thank you! The original song that DaisukeP made was also with Iroha, I just wanted to try my hands at it myself, along with getting to know how her V4 library works.
Dojan5 Honestly, i think i like this version the most out of all i've heard. I don't know how you got her to belt it out like that, but i really like that added touch. You should keep doing it. Especially with the somewhat gritty effect heard around 2:50 and 3:45.
+Hero✩Lydragius That's the growl parameter added in VOCALOID4. I also upped the GEN parameter here and there to make higher notes a bit more powerful.
When working on this I was inspired partially by Kaoling (a music producer, she's worked with Final Fantasy songs, but I was mostly inspired by her VOCALOID work) and Kyounosuke Yoshitate. Kyon is the voice provider of Iroha, and I tried to mimic his singing style a bit.
I really recommend that you check him out!

WHAT THE FUCK??? Why doesn't this have more views, and why in gods name did 3 people dislike this????
i have never wished for a love button more than ever
Beautiful! I'm a huge VOCALOID and medieval fan xD
Iroha is awesome ♡
OMG! HOW DID YOU MAKE THAT GROWL TO IROHA?! I'm trying to do that but always fail miserably..
THIS IS AWSOME!
This is amazing! I wonder how long it took for you to put all this together? I heard it's hard to work with Iroha.
Aww, thank you! I've worked with Iroha since her VOCALOID2 days, so I'm pretty used to how she works. This was my first real project after buying her V4 library, so I was still learning some of her new quirks. She's not _that_ difficult to work with, but her V2 library has less discrepancies in tone. For VOCALOID4 they've re-recorded _some_ of her sustains so sometimes you're hit with a pretty sudden change in tone, and they can be a bit annoying to work out. I find her Soft library rather tricky to work with, but that's just due to personal inexperience with soft voices.
As for how long it took... I work pretty slowly, I like to scrap things and do them over, but I'd say the final version took about a month or two. Naturally I didn't work on it 24/7, I'm much too laid back for that.
In addition to that I didn't make the video, nor did I draw the art, my friend Kuroji (@k_kuroji) did all that, and he did a stunning job!
Dojan5 That he did. The Vocaloid community still has me in awe at how supportive they are to the skilled and newcomers alike. I hope to be treated that way once I start creating content with my first Vocaloids. Hopefully you have a great day!
Yeah, the VOCALOID community can be pretty awesome. There's tons of tutorials out there covering stuff from mixing to just fine-tuning your vocals. If you ever need any help feel free to poke me over on twitter, @dojan5
Have a wonderful day you too!
いいね！
おお！らくしゅみーさんだ！
(人''▽｀)ありがとう☆
お、もしかして覚えていてくださってました？
VOCALOIDあまり曲を知らないので、
こちらこそ 知り得た事に感謝しています☆
覚えているよ、もちろん！
「日本語うまい」って言うたすっげー嬉しかったでした！
杏ノ助さんは猫村いろはの中の人。だからこのカバーはきょんスタイルで作ったんだ。
コメントの流れがあれほど早い中でw覚えていてくださったのは、私としても嬉しいです😊
本当日本語うまいと 以前から思っていますよ〜！大変な努力をしてきたんだろうな〜と。尊敬しています。
私は英語を読み書き出来るほどでは無いので😂いろはの声をアレンジしたのがDojanさんだと思っていますが、当たっていますか？
確かに、こぶしがきいてる辺りが杏ノ助さんっぽい( ´ ▽ ` )
「あら！Dojanさんだ」ってはもちろん覚えてるよ、めっちゃびっくりしたからさ！ｗ初めには「真・女神転生IMAGINEからのお友達か」って思ってた、名前を憶えていなかったからちょっと恥ずかしかったんだ。
ありがとう！まだペラペラ喋らないので、日常的な話はかなりややこしいじゃん。知らない言葉まだたくさんおる。
はーい！当たり当たり～！
実はきょんがこの曲をカバーしたんだ、「Duaroot」に。
this is actually pretty good :3 how old are you?
Oh thank you. I'm in my early twenties.
Dojan5 ah so your voice already matured then
I'm sorry? This is a synthesized voice; it's computer generated. It's sampled from a man called 佳館杏之助 (Yoshitate Kyounosuke). You can find him over on ua-cam.com/users/tokyounosuke
I was inspired by his cover of this song when I made this. I tried to mimic his singing style, it seemed appropriate since it's technically his voice. His cover isn't available on UA-cam however, it's on his CD Duaroot.
Dojan5 oh i thought this was just singing. because it was great :D
i dont know anything about vocaloid etc
It's just a strange hobby of mine. I'd really recommend checking out Kyon though, he's an amazing singer.
